Keeping your Pet Healthy for the Long Term

When you bring a new kitten, puppy or young pet into your home, it brings excitement into your life. Unfortunately, a dog or cat does not live as long as a human. Despite the differences in our lifespans, we want our animal companions to live full and healthy lives throughout each stage of their life. By working with our Laguna Hills vet, you can keep your pet healthy and encourage a long life.

Keep Your Pet Clean

Hygiene plays a key role in preventing sicknesses. Brush your pet's teeth and give them regular baths to reduce their exposure to bacteria and viruses. Regular grooming also allows you to catch potential problems like lumps or bumps early for proper treatment.

Feed Your Pet a Well-Balanced Diet

Diet is essential for any pet. If you are unsure about the proper foods for your dog or cat, then talk to our veterinarian. We recommend different options based on your pet's dietary needs.

Provide Plenty of Water

Keep your pet hydrated by offering plenty of water. Always have water available and accessible for your pets. Poor hydration makes it harder for your pet's heart and kidneys to function at their optimal level. By offering plenty of water, you encourage your pet to stay hydrated.

Exercise Your Pet

Exercise is essential for pets in all age groups. Take your dog out for a walk two to three times per day. Play with your pets. Encourage your pets to move by starting games or taking them for a run.
